Airframe lubricants?

I will be purchasing a tube and fabric plane with folding wings that has been stored in a garage for 20 years. This is my first airplane project. What are the proper lubricants to use on the airframe? Items such as landing gear pivots and tailwheel pivots and controls and rudder pedal pivots and aileron hinges. I'm guessing there's a small number of go-to oils and greases but I didn't find recommendations in AC 43.14 or the Standard Aircraft Handbook. Also, if there's anything that I should NOT use I'd appreciate knowing that, too. Thanks, all.
